    On a bit of a side note:

    Dimon announced earlier this year he would not make an endorsement prior to the 2024 election.

    In August, Dimon wrote in The Washington Post, “We live in a perilous time. Deeply divided, our nation now faces both challenging domestic issues and perhaps the most complicated geopolitical situation since World War II. We may be at an inflection point that will determine the fate of the free and democratic world for decades.”

    Though my take on all of that is much more cynical than his, I agree in principle.

    We need to elect a president who is dedicated to the ideals that define and unite us, and who is committed to restoring our faith in America and our indispensable role in the world.

    And I can see why he won’t endorse anyone - because that person isn’t a candidate.

      Such a person could be one of our greatest presidents — and put us on a path that is worthy of the American people.

      It seems possible that Trump read that and just assumed Dimon was talking about him.

        You really think Trump reads? Like honestly? I bet he doesn’t read anything. I bet he just relies on his handlers to tell him things and he just believes whatever they say.
